ARMS 18 Mount

Just paid $260 USD for an new A.R.M.S. #18 mount and also a pair of matching high rings shipped to my door. So if it's used I would say $200 CAD shipped for the mount & rings but if there new probaly $320 CAD shipped.
 
I think it came to around 230 or so after tax/shipping from Wolverine. I ordered from Manitoba though so I think there was the extra PST on it. You can also order directly from armsmounts.com if wolverine is sold out. It should work out to about the same as wolverine in the end with the currency and shipping and all that. But of course, if Wolverine is in stock, buy through them. Support a great canadian company!

DeerStalker is right. You def. get what you pay for! I love that mount!
 
the ARMS 18 mount is good, just be aware that sometimes brass gets thrown out energetically enough that it gets jammed between the bolt and the mount. Happened to me a lot.

Was partially relieved by cutting some loops off the ejector spring but it still occasionally happens. I'll probably cut one more loop off and see if that finally solves it.
 
I forget what I paid exactly, as it has been a couple of years for the mount, but I just got the ARMS 22 rings with the 30MM inserts last week and I shot today. I really like the combo, which is not cheap, but I shot about 2-2.5 with the combo,
 
Got my ARMS 18 mount from wolverine... was $247ish shipped to Alberta. Not cheap. Put a Bushnell Elite 3200 3-9x40 scope on my 2009 polytech M305... not very cheap either! Probably $600 worth of gear above the reciever LOL!

Anyways my point: Shot it today and it was eating and ejecting with NO issues 180gr federal powershok, 150gr federal powershok, 150gr federal fusion (best load so far, just under 2" groups at 200 yards... good enough to hunt with!!!).

Put about 50 rounds through today with no issues. Very pleased with the combo.

Just don't put to many 180 grain bullets down the pipe unless you get one of these installed

Cuz the excess preasure could be bad for your firearm. Also this piston is for anything over 175 grain. Please be sure not to use lighter loads due to reduced preasure will cause cycling issues.
 
Satain is right... limit yer >168 gr bullets! USMC teams back in 1997 experienced op rod battering (this is old news from Camp Perry, Ohio AAR's). The op rods would break right at the weld junction(s) from the excessive recoil. Just to reiterate (big word warning), the M14 loves the bullets UNDER 170 grains! :eek: Besides, it's cheaper that way! :D

Peace out!

What does 170 grains mean?

Sometimes I read 170g, is this the wieght of the projectile? Is it how many powder grains in the carteridge? Or is it how many grams of powder is in the carteridge?

It's used to measure both, since 1gr = 1/7000 lb.

Mostly when you see it on the box at your local sports shop it refers to bullet weight.
